American transportation company XPO Logistics is expanding its services in Morocco with new strategic routes connecting the Port of Tangier with Algeciras and Motril, the company said in a press release on Monday. The expansion will also include strengthening its capacity in Morocco through a key investment in 60 new container trailers, specially designed to facilitate the intermodal transport of 20-, 40-, and 50-foot units and to reduce environmental impact. The new fleet will be equipped with GPS geolocation systems to ensure real-time tracking of goods. These trailers will enable a 50% increase in transport capacity, with over 6,000 additional movements expected per year. «The expansion of our operations in Morocco—with more than 30,000 shipments as of 2024 and new investments—reflects our commitment to increasingly efficient, innovative, and sustainable cross-border logistics», commented Massimo Marsili, Managing Director for Southern Europe and Morocco at XPO Logistics. As part of this strategy, XPO Logistics expects that between 35% and 40% of its crossings between Europe and Morocco will be made through the Port of Motril by 2025.
